Dr Gloom

i wouldn't write him off just yet. he does seem to have lost the pace to go past defenders easily though

not unless we've got a replacement coming in.

bizarre appointment tbh

i was impressed with everyone except owen until they scored and we folded like a deck of cards. i thought we edges the first half - just a shame that heads went down and we gave up as soon as their first went in cacapa looked good, smith battled well with his back to goal, the full backs got forward well and milner and duff both looked lively on the flanks.

jesus wept

pay him and get him signed

aye. i reckon that'll be the team too. i also reckon we'll get humped. potential back lash from the gooners after the spurs game. oh well, at least the food and booze in the corporate box where i'll be watching it from will be good

i think we'll have done well if we end up with woodgate, bentley, downing and chimbonda out of this window.

at least he's honest.

no, but i read something in the guardian or observer recently bigging her up as the next big thing. they gave her album 5 stars so i think i'll check it out.

great defender but he's still a sicknote.

not really up to speed with italian football these days. is he any good?

quality

leave it alone man i can't believe anyone would turn their nose up at beckham tbh.

iirc most of that is made up from commercial contracts, image rights etc and his yearly wage actually paid by the club is more like £5m per year. beckham moving anywhere will largely depend on whether cappelo suggests he will have to move back to europe in order to prolong his england career. in any event, i don't see him moving in this transfer window.

people that fat don't deserve an opinion, let alone a column in a national broadsheet

Basically, the journo's down south pass these awards round amongst themselves every year with the 'winner' having done nothing necessarily to deserve it. They have a piss up and at the end of the night it is decided 'who shall get it this year?'. There's no great decision making into it at all. it's a sympathy vote for samuel. they're trying to keep him onside so he doesn't eat all of the buffet again at next year's do

bollocks man. he'd take milner's place in a flash and would probably provide over half of our assists if he did sign. we don't have anyone in the same league when it comes to delivery from wide areas and set pieces.

Strikes me as a bit of a douchebag though. I think the use of the word "douchebag" is worthy of a ban from the board it's a great insult. up there with mongoloid

i had a feeling this rumour might be in the offing. it'd be a shrewd move

he ate all the competition

If only. We'd have won that every season under Kev. 70's-tastic.

never heard of him. don't follow the micky mouse football north of the border - would sooner watch the championship. plus he wouldn't seem to fulfill keegan's criteria of signing players ready made for the permiership. £8m would be a gamble of barry ferguson-esque proportions

martin samuel? ugly, fat, silly beard? yes
